[clue] LAMP + Nagios on Pi?

[Quentin Hartman]

While you're messing around with Nagios, it would probably be worth
spending some time messing around with Sensu or some other more modern
alerting systems. NAgios is definitely the old standard for OSS alerting,
but there is a new generation of tools out there (Sensu among them) that
are likely to start supplanting it in a major way in the not too distant
future. The biggest reason for that is that they work better in more
elastic environments than Nagios does. Once I have some time to work on it,
I intend to replace all of my alerting installations that are currently
running Nagios with Sensu.
